ANDREAS SHADE (b. Abt. 1720, d. Abt. 03 Sep 1786)

ANDREAS SHADE was born Abt. 1720 in Germany (possibly Hesse, Germany)(immigrated Aug 21, 1750), and died Abt. 03 Sep 1786 in Tulpehocken Twp, Berks Co PA.He married (1) MARY ELIZABETH KRAFT on 10 Feb 1754 in Tulpehocken or Bern Twp, Berks Co PA.He married (2) Marie Eve Kettner on 25 Mar 1771 in Berks Co. PA.Notes for ANDREAS SHADE:I have posted several thousandDescendants of Andreas Shade on the internet at http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?db=fdshadeThe father of Andreas is not identified, though Myron Lewis Shade in his 1931 genealogy names Hans Adam Shadewho arrived in America in 1737 or 1738 as the father, but lists no proof. There is other evidence that Hans Adam was not the father of Andreas, as records exist that list three sons of Hans Adam as George b. 1742, Nicholas b. 1745, and Charles b. 1750.Though his name appears mostly as "ANDREW SHADE" in "The Shade Family" genealogy authored by Janet Shade in the 1980's, on entry to America it is written "ANDEREAS SHAAD" or ANDEREAS SHAADT" (it is unclear due to an ink blot), however it appears that someone else signed his name as his mark "X" appears between his first and last name.His last name is sometimes also found as "SCHADT" (see Baptismal Records of Rev. John Casper Stoever (http://www.chm.davidson.edu/PAGenWeb/records/StoeverBaptisms.txt)but as early as 1759 (see 1759 land papers below) his name was recorded as "ANDREW SHADE".I have elected to record his name as "ANDREAS SHADE" Likewise, Andreas' wife is recorded variously as "MARIA" or "'MARY" with the last name either "KRAFFT" or "KRAFT"Andreas was among 85 passengers that arrived in America on the ship Anderson on August 21, 1750. (His trunk now in possession ofMary Lou Shade b. December 27, 1926)Following is from Janet Shade's "The Shade Family" genealogy (published in the 1980's and now out of print):SHIP LIST # 151-C: Penna. Archives, State Library, Harisburg, Penna.

PA. Record of Reverend John Casper Stoever - Baptismal and Marriage, 1730-1779,printed by the Harrisburg Publishing Company, 1896:p64: Marriages: "February 10, 1754: Andreas Schaatand Maria Elizabeth Krafft ofBern Township." Maria Elizabeth's birth and baptism was also recorded:p37-38: Andreas Krafft (Northkill) Maria Elizabeth, b. April 17, 1737; bapt. July 17, 1737, Sps; Heinrich Beyer and wife.( margin note in the book: " Christ Little Tulpehocken or Christ Evangelical Lutheran Churchnear Bernville")Several of the children of Andreas and Maria are also recorded in these church records.Mary Elizabeth died about 1769 and on March 25, 1771 Andreas married Marie Eva Kettner (Ketner ?)And again from Janet's book: "Andreas Schaadt settled in Tulpehocken Twp., Berks County PA.There he lived, reared his family, acquired a farm of 300 acres, died and was buried.I have not been able to locate the gravesites of Andreas and Mary Elizabeth though it is very possible that they are buried in the cemetery of the CHRIST LITTLE TULPEHOCKEN CHURCH in Bernvillefounded in 1729, REED'S LUTHERAN CHURCH in Stouchsberg founded in 1743. Though Andreas might be buried at CHRIST LUTHERAN CHURCH AT STOUCHSBURGfounded in 1786Roadside Marker - Location:SR 4010 W of Bernville" Christ Little Tulpehocken Church -Organized 1729, this is one of the early Lutheran churches founded by Rev. John Caspar Stoever, Jr., who started the parish records in 1730. A log church, erected before 1749, was replaced by the present stone building in 1809. Since 1853, Lutheran and Reformed services have been held here."==Subj:DAR Patriot Lookup: Reference Code RZYGFZK Date:11/24/2001 5:47:48 PM Pacific Standard Time From:autoreply@dar.orgTo:FDShade@aol.comA search of our Patriot Index provided the information found below.SHADE,Andrew Birth:GRCirca 1725Service:PARank:PSDeath:PAp 9-3-1786Patriot Pensioned:NoWidow Pensioned:No Children Pensioned:NoHeirs Pensioned:No Spouse:Maria Eva KetnerSpouse:Marie Elizabeth KraftIf you would like to have a record copy of the information on this ancestor, please download the record copy request form from the DAR website, under "forms" and send itto our Washington headquarters with a check for $5 made out to the Treasurer General, NSDAR.

Montgomery, 1886:Pages 1083-1097 of this book are devoted to Tulpehocken Township (Tulpehocken; settled about 1707; incorporated 1729 while part of Lancaster Co.) and there records that "In 1759 Andreas Shade paid 2 pounds in property taxes --" Also, see "History of the Counties of Berks and Lebanon" by l. Daniel Rupp, published by G. Hills, 1844Both of these books describe the area in the period.Accordingly it is known that when Andreas first arrived in 1750the area now called Reading PA had no houses but by Feb 1752 it consisted of 130 houses, 41 stables, 160 families consisting of 378 persons.The original population was principally German who emigrated from Wurtemberg and the Palatinate though the administration of public affairs was chiefly in the hands of the "Friends". During this period so many Germans arrived that the English did not like it.It was peaceful until the the French and Indian War from 1754-1763. By the start of the war,Andeas had just gotten married and was setting up house keeping.During those years in Berks County, about 200 peple were killed by the Indians along with the burning of houses, barns and crops in Berks Co.The years of 1755 though 1759 seemed to be the worst. ( It is a safe bet that Andreas had to keep his rifle handy at all times. )For further on the Tulpehocken area - see "Shade - All Shades Families in this file" in the IndexThere is another book - "Tulpehocken Immigrants" by Rev Frederic Weiser - I've not yet located it.Our immigrant Ancestor ANDREAS Shade was known as ANDREW as early as 1759, just 4 years after coming to America when he purchased land in Tulpehocken Twp Berks County PA:=========THE WILL OF ANDREW SHADE September 3, 1786http://www.rootsweb.com/~paberks/wills/shade-andrew.htmlAndreas must have been a man of some means. The 1779 tax rolls in Berks County listed him as owning 200 acres, 4 horses. 5 cattle, 6 sheep.His tax bill was $1,830I have a photocopy of Andreas' Last Will which is recorded in Will Book 1781-1811; B184;3-68, in the Court House, Reading, Berks County, Pennsylvania. The will is dated September 3, 1786. It is believed that Andreas died shortly thereafter.
